Recent examples of State-run capital projects that came in below budget and ahead of schedule are the Mario Cuomo Bridge and the Kosciuszko Bridge.

With this authority, we hope that city capital projects can finally be constructed with budgets that make fiscal sense. And built in a timely fashion so all citizens can enjoy these needed improvements.

One of the chief issues with the development of our neighborhoods has been the needed infrastructure improvements. This will give the City a much-needed tool to make sure our quality of life is not compromised but instead is enhanced by the inevitable development we will experience.
